The IESG has received a request from the Reliable Multicast Transport WG (rmt) to consider the following document: - 'FLUTE - File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport' <draft-ietf-rmt-flute-revised-13.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-02-24. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines FLUTE, a protocol for the unidirectional delivery of files over the Internet, which is particularly suited to multicast networks. The specification builds on Asynchronous Layered Coding, the base protocol designed for massively scalable multicast distribution. This document obsoletes RFC3926. This document contains downrefs: It creates a registry that includes values for content encoding algorithms defined in Informational RFCs 1950, 1951, and 1952. It discusses a potential weakness created by using WEBRC congestion control, a mandatory to implement algorithm for ALC. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rmt-flute-revised/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rmt-flute-revised/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/733/ _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
